This video tutorial also covers common types of resource records, including the A record, MX record, and wildcards. Finally, you will learn about DNS query tools including nslookup and dig, as well as advanced topics such as NOTIFY and sender policy framework. Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have gained a solid understanding of Domain Name Servers and resource records.
